A number of National Grid customers in Madison and Oneida counties lost power Tuesday night as severe thunderstorms and a few "almost" tornado clouds swept through the region.

Highway department crews were out in full force cleaning up after the storm.

Wednesday morning, Oneida County DPW said that Peterboro Road in Vernon is closed after last night's storms that rolled through the area. The county road reportedly has downed trees and power lines, and is expected to remain closed for most of today.

Despite the severe weather, there were not a lot of automotive accidents in Madison County said Captain Eric Ali at the Madison County Sheriff's Office. Ali added that there were a number of downed trees and blocked roads throughout the county after the storm.
